I came across some old medals I had earned while in the service. There was the usual, Good conduct Medal. However I found two medals from the firing range. One was Marksman, the other Expert. I looked in my military papers and it should have been expert. Only one other soldier did better shooting than me.

As I look back in my service time, I am guessing I would have been a good sniper. It isn’t the type of job I was really seeking, but I would have done well.

_______________________________________________________________

Are you proud of your service. Did you do many good things. Let others know. It may seem like bragging, but you earned it.

Pentagon says Chinese fighter buzzed US Air Force jet in ‘unsafe’ intercept over South China Sea
U.S. officials said a People’s Liberation Army Navy J-11 fighter maneuvered within about 10 feet of a U.S. RC-135 Rivet Joint reconnaissance plane’s wing during the intercept Dec. 21.

________________________________________________________________

It seems to me that China is up to no good. Their attempts to intimidate our Air Force flying in the Taiwan area is frightening. They don’t seem to care. The last interaction had their planes within ten feet of a US plane. That is insane.

North Korea is getting very hostile. It is now loading up their weapons with nuclear devices.

Russia is stinging from the Ukrainian forces. The last report said that 840 Russians were killed in one day. Putin needs to wake up and have peace talks. It is his only way to come out alive.

For you information, I just posted my 800th post last Friday. It has been a long journey, and thank you for being there with me.

I was having coffee with some friends recently, and I talked to them about this site. A heated discussion started. Most of the people thought it was a great idea, and subscribed later to my site. However, one asked why he should subscribe. I said it is a site to help veterans. He went on to think I was just doing it to get praise. My blood pressure went up a little, and I said, ” I have no reason for praise.” He scoffed and said he would think about it. He never subscribed.

There are far too many civilians who have that mentality. They do not like the military, and do not like how much is spent for them. They never seem to think what it would be like if we didn’t have a military.

If you have faced these kind of people, be strong and assure them that you are proud you served.
